No. 3 Minnesota Timberwolves vs No. 2 Denver Nuggets Series Odds

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: After getting blown out at home in Game 2 to fall into a 2-0 hole, Denver got back into this series by winning the next three games.

But Minnesota responded with a 115-70 beatdown of the Nuggets in Game 6 Thursday. Anthony Edwards & Co. cashed by a mile as 2.5-point home favorites, making both teams 3-3 SU and ATS in this matchup.

With Game 7 set to decide it all tonight in Denver, the moneyline also serves as Timberwolves vs. Nuggets series odds. BetMGM has it at Denver -200/Minnesota +165.

"The Nuggets would still be the preferred outcome if we're looking at the futures book, as well. But in a perfect world, we'd have the T-Wolves win today, and the Mavs beat the T-Wolves in the Western Conference finals," BetMGM trader Hal Egeland said.

As for Game 7 itself, BetMGM opened at Nuggets -4.5 and briefly went to -5.5 (-105) late Saturday morning. Early this afternoon, Denver fell back to -4.5, where the number remains now.

"We're seeing about two times the money for the Nuggets on the spread, and a wider disparity on the moneyline," Egeland said, before addressing tonight's total. "Sharp money came in on the Over at 197.5 this morning, bringing us up to the current 199.5. The public is on that, too. Nothing but Over money coming in."
